Validation of the polish city birth trauma scale
The City BiTS is a reliable and valid measure, but difficulties were observed during the analysis in fitting the scale to the models, especially in the context of fitting a four-factor model based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders diagnostic criteria. Therefore, the tool should be considered as a screening, not a clinical, method. Sensory processing sensitivity is positively related to CB-PTSD, shedding light on the imp…
Health workers’ perspectives on the quality of maternal and newborn health care around the time of childbirth

The aim of this case-control study was to evaluate the differences between women with and without persistent PGP regarding pelvic floor function, diastasis recti, and psychological factors 6−24 weeks postpartum. Pelvic floor manometry, palpation examination of abdominal mu…

Lethal fetal diagnosis defines severe developmental disorders that lead to the death of a fetus or newborn. Using semi-structured interviews, we explored the experiences of women in Poland who actively decided to continue with the pregnancy after diagnosis. We thematically analyzed data collected from 10 women. We identified four themes: pregnancy as an experience of prenatal motherhood; the child as person; birth as encounter and farewell; and t…
Characteristics of breastfeeding by adoptive mothers
The breastfeeding of adopted children is a rare phenomenon but one that deserves attention because of its potential benefits. The aim of this study was to gather information on the breastfeeding of adopted children in Poland and in other high-income countries and to identify its determinants.

What are the Critical Elements of Satisfaction and Experience in Labor and Childbirth—A Cross-Sectional Study
The labor experience and satisfaction with childbirth are affected by the care provided (external factors) and individual variables (internal factors). In this paper, we present a descriptive analysis that aims to indicate the strongest correlates of birth experience among a wide range of indicators. The study is a prospective, cross-sectional, self-report survey. It includes the experiences of women giving birth in public and private hospitals i…
Polish maternity services in times of crisis
The current COVID-19 pandemic put a burden on healthcare services around the globe and impacted many areas of care delivery, including maternity services. Prioritizing ringfenced community care to keep women away from hospitals may be the best strategic response to ensure pregnant and laboring women receive optimal care. By analyzing the structure of maternity services in Poland and their response to the current crisis, we show that while the ava…
